THIS is OFFICIAL.

The statement made in last evenings Bea-
con to the effect that the new Catholic do
cesar building had been located was un-
authorized and untrue. The building is not
located, and 10 one but W. H. Grattan re-
ceived any dispatch from Father Casey
while he was at Leasenworth, and 10 one
but Father Casey and Mr.. GTattan and the
telegraph operators ever saw the dispatch,
nor was its contents communicated to any
one. The statement made n the EAGLE
the following morning embraced all that
could he said authoritively on the subject
uD to the time this article was written.
An item appeared in the last issue of the
Nation too, which was written by reporter
on information volunteered by one who
knew nothing about the matter, and entire
ly unknown to the editor of that paper. All
statements touching the location of the new
institution that have been made are there
fore premature and without authority. This
is official
Father Casey returned from Leavenworth
yesterday and meeting of the locating
committee was he Id last night and certain
bids considered, but the location OF the
building is not definitely settled
All that can be said III this connection is
that the institution will be built this year

The Guest OF the Evening Wichita is

corded. and Of what city, that amid the
widest business boom that ever agitated tie
minds of men, a large company OF her bust

and their offices to DO honor to an anoassa-
dor of Jesus Christ.
know that in tho olden time the Servants
OF Christ were often greeted by multitu,ies
of aifectionate admirers in the famous
cities and the busy hartS OF those days,
but thet were not composed Of the men Who
turned the wheels of commerce, who held
the reins of power, who managed the
finances of the community. but OF the de-
spised and obscure Christians OF that day /
remember that Christ himself entered the
holy city, but it was not the rulers of Jeru-
salem who cast their garments before him
and strewed with flowers his pathway, but
the women ard the children aud the men
who had forSaken all to follow him.
1t is no uncommon thing low for the peo-
pie OF a city to turn on: en- niasSe TO greet a
favored political leader, u military hero, or
a railroad magnate.
1t might also happen that III dull and

Y. NJ. c. A. MEETING.

The gospel meeting last night at the First
Presbyterian church conducted by Mr.. c. Fl.
Yatinan was well attended, An intense
interest was manifested from the beginning
until the end OF the services The style of
the speaker is specially adapted for CORR
handing attention aud influencing his
hearers in the direction desired. No i'm
personal forms are used. 1t is always you"
accompanied with a look and GESTURE that
adds force to the thought expressed. Ere
quently dealing in illustrations that ara al
ways to the point and utlering not a single
sentence that does not apply to some one or
all OF his hearers. His great strength seems
70 lie in his power to talk direct TO his hear
ers, and waste neither energy nor time III
generalizing.
The speaker introduced as text part OF
the twentysacond verse Of the fourth chap
ter of Kings. SIS it we'll with thee, is it well
with thy husband, is it wei with thy child!
Each member Of the audience was asked to
apply the question to himself, SIS it well
| with my sou.' IF all is not well with you
| then seek remedy The Divine power is
the remedy and can be gained upon an invi-
tation.'
az is necessary to be able to say on three
very important occasions 'thao ali is well
with YOU You should he able to
say that now The mortality iii
the land will suggest that idea.
Since we met IN this church last night i00, coo
men in Pagan darkness have died. Before
we assemble tomorrow night the same NUM-
Der will have passed away. While | have
been preaching to you this evening more
people have died in Americas than are before
me. l wcnder if all could say fear not for
it is well with my soul"
There is another time when it IS very i'm
portant that you be able to say 1t is all
well with me-. 1t is on the brink of the
grave. Some day each one of you viii reach
that point. You can not go back: you can
not stand still; You must enter into darkness.
At tbat moment neither doctors was preach
ers can save you. You viii submit to tie IL
eyitabie. Are you ready?n
The last place where you will wish to be
able to say 1T is all we'll with me- l. when
time is no more. When you, my brother,
and | VIII have TO stand before the great
white throne. There win be 10 haste in the
matter. Time is not counted in eternity.
There will be time to judge all. You want
TO be able to say 1T is all well with me-
Then it will be too late to make prepare

SETTLED.

There was considerable talk On the street
yesterday about the Wichita University, Il
rumor having gained currency to the effect
that the project had fallen through For a
time there was hitch in the arrangements,
but tie whole matter was anicably adjusted
and all the papers and instruments were
legally executed in the Office OF Houston &,
Bentley last evening, and work will begin at
once. The bid of g sub-contractor for the
stonework, who lives in Indiana, had been
accepted by the committee, but he being sick
could not accept the contract, therefore il
had to be let over again at higher figure,
but all is now settled and the reporter was
present when the final and necessary instru-
ments were drawn up by j. d. Houston and
signed by the committee and the donors Of
the ground upon which this fine college Of
the Reformed Church will stand.
The site is the same that had been formerly
selected and which was announced in the
EAGLE at the time. The location as an
nounced is all that could be desired, being
one of the most beautiful and commanding
about the city, Oh the property of Harry
Hill and Mr.. Fees. The plans and specifica-
tons of this splendid structure were examiu-
ed by the reporter, who will say without
hesitation that the building viii be of com
handing proportions and great beauty It
will add greatly to the city and especially
to the section where it is located Let's see:
The Wichita University, the Garfield Uni
verSity, two or three Catholic diocesan
college, all building the coming summer
Well that ANT much, but where is the city,
great or small on the continent that can
show as much.
